Dyslexia Is Our Superpower Podcast
I, like many dyslexics, (sadly) grew up thinking I was stupid. I don’t want anyone else thinking they are dumb, less valued than those around them, or not good enough because their brain isn’t “normal.” That’s why I created the Dyslexia Is Our Superpower Podcast. Episode by episode a community of incredible dyslexics has formed to show the world that dyslexia truly is a superpower. So whether you are a family member or educator of an awesome dyslexic or whether you have dyslexic superpowers yourself I welcome you to the tribe.
A new spin on things: Originally I had the idea to introduce the character Super D, the Dyslexic Superhero in a four part episode special. However, after the first episode was so well received I had to give into the requests for more and have changed the format of the podcast to include our dyslexic superhero friend as well as an interview from a real life dyslexic.
Episode 110: Adam Searle shares his dyslexic story which is one of persevering, believing in oneself, and not giving up on your dreams.
“Still go ahead. Don’t let your dyslexia slow you down.” -Adam Searle

Episode 109: Jillian Kaster chats about the journey of accepting herself and going from ashamed of her dyslexia to proud of it.
“I had so much shame built around this (dyslexia). Even as a teacher I was scared to tell my kindergarteners that I struggled too because I was worried what if they tell their parents and then their parents are going to know and then I’m going to get in trouble or they will find me out.” -Jillian Kaster
